Coming Back!

The ancient glyphs of the Inca Empire inspire Fernando Cano to design this elegant turquoise green sweater. He knits it with alpaca wool featuring abstract glyphs on the cuffs and waist. Alpaca wool has been prized in the Andean region for centuries thanks to its warm and light weight fleece.

Best Uses

"Perfect sweater"

This was a gift for my mother in law, who is in her 80's - the fit is flattering, and so is the color - material is so soft - she loves it, and it looks just wonderful on her. The size small was perfect for a petite woman - I would guess that she would normally wear a small in most of her tops, so the sizing was right on.

"Beautiful Color!!"

This is a beautiful sweater!! I love the color and the detail colored accents on the sleeves and at the bottom. My new favorite sweater. I am an america size 6 petite and ordered the size small. It fits great. Thank you.

"Best sweater ever!!!"

I bought this sweater in 2014. I have used it every winter since then and it still looks brand new. It is avery good qualiity sweater and the aplaca is soft , warm and light at the same time.
Excellent design and quality.

"Beauty and Warmth"

This sweater is a worthy addition to your work attire or your casual wear. Weight of yarn will hold up over time. It is an item of well-finished quality. I enjoy wearing it and I have many of this artist's artistic garments. When I browse Novica online I check to see what he has on offer.

"Joining my collection"

Fernando Cano's artistry appeals greatly to me and this is another one of his works that I proudly own. The blues and greens of this sweater are of my favorites and the sweater is by far super comfortable. Another one of those sweaters one can dress up or down and goes with anything.

Meet the Artist

"If you truly want something in life, you will do all that is within your means to get it."

"The greatest challenge I've ever faced was getting my family to understand my passion for textiles. I was born in the Macate district of the Ancash department and my parents worked in the fields. My artistic origins come from my family, my uncles worked in textiles and little by little they introduced me to this world. I love being part of this world, where I can translate materials into beautiful products.

"Getting started was difficult and my family didn't think I would make it, yet slowly but surely I managed to prove them wrong. If you truly want something in life, you will do all that is within your means to get it.

"I have achieved every goal I have set for myself and in this way I have discovered new and wonderful techniques within this grand art form.

"As for hobbies, I enjoy playing football soccer and of course everything related to this art since I like playing with colors, textiles, textures, etc.

"My work is motivated by a desire to show my art to people everywhere, from as many countries as possible! I would like my designs to transmit my experience and skills – each final piece is a proud representative of my creativity.

"My work means everything to me: it's what I love and cherish, and I love the fact that I can provide for my family thanks to it. I consider myself a happy person and every day I strive to get ahead, not only in work, but also as a person, a husband, and as a son.

"I would like to thank Novica customers for allowing us into their homes, and for getting to know Peruvian arts and crafts. They are made with inspired hands."
